why would someone get a letter to join the masons at 13 y.o

No one told me, I received the letter, from the order of demolay I believe. In any evebt believe me or not it had a brochure with clinton and other masonic presidents, info about the god with a g thing anc the addy and number of a lodge a few towns over.

>Whoever told you the story is a LIAR!

The rights are only given to those that seek the truth.

Does demolay exist in canada? Not sure why anyone would invent such a tame tale...lol

These secret societies think they know who you were in a past life, so they stalk you.

You mean the gay demolay?

Actually..um..well..ummm..never mind.

Ah yes, cause naturally I saved the letter I disregarded as cult propoganda (was far from awake at 13, pre universal internet access, couldnt find truth if I wanted to) for over 20 years....lol

^^^^This. I was invited into the female part of the order at 16. But it was who I knew and who knew me. Nothing was in written form for security reasons at that point.

Thats possible, other than the name (the order of demolay) and ny dads bedt friend being a bigshot mason in pa (I lived in ny) I dont remember a whole lot

Are you a Mason?

I was wondering the same....lol was hoping someone who was could enlighten me...lol

Thars interesting... would explain some things. Any chance you can elaborate?

Letters all only sent out only to those that have pledged the rights of fellowship. The main form letters are out their and you can find some of them by Googling. There is no such letter for initiation in existance because it is against the rules. You have to receive your rights first.

Never said initiation...lol was an invite to what my tween mind took to be a meet and greet of sorts.... audition process???...lol

I got one several years ago, was in my late fifties. It was out of the blue, I did not solicit, unless you count doing some research on secret societies and related subjects.

As for the timing, the letter hinted strongly that I was being tracked. They claimed to know my astrological profile, and were contacting me because I was approaching a time when my personal power would be at a maximum. (I found the letter creepy and unsettling, did not reply and got rid of it).

I've never heard of letters. I have also never known anybody who asked to join either. My Father has been asked to join ~ several times ~ he always turns them down. LOL

I got one at 13

I was "nominated" by someone if I remember right

I didn't like that asshole so I burned the invite

Well I was 13. They love that number right?

The Demolay society (named after a famous Templar head) is kind of like the Boyscouts for masons.

They take boys up to 19 or so, I think (roughly).

13 would be right in the age range for their recruiting efforts.

Why would you get such a letter? Someone had to have recommended you to them. Another member or a Mason in the community.

So, as far as I know, that sounds pretty reasonable.

Interesting… Like the Boy Scouts for Masons… Interesting

As I said my dads best friend is a pretty big deal in the masons in pa. We lived in ny though. So if I had to guess id say it was mr pierson. But would he have pull in ny living in pa?

Glad to know im not crazy, all the naysayers had me questioning my own memory....lol

Hey OP ~ Don't let haters get to you. Just because other people's experiences don't reflect yours does not make them an expert or you "wrong".

There are several people on this site with overblown egos. In their egocentric lives they are the Supreme Authority on EVERYTHING! LOL

^^^^ this....lol

You have to have another member invite you or recommend you. I was in Job's daughters as a teen. Didn't remain though. An uncle of mine, who was a banker in NJ wrote a letter of recommendation for me. I only wanted to join because a friend was a member and she wanted me in. I believe you have to be a blood relation to the person who invites you. I haven't participated since I was 15 though and am not sure if the rules are the same.

Probably to drug, rape, sacrafice his pre puberty ass

They need more people

I suppose, "for what? Would be the next question
